How endings of books can't be changed by simply lopping off final chapters and adding new ones - the story must point toward the finale all the way through. Also, US politics to wade through at first, especially state vs fed rights.

Things not to say to authors and how George R.R. Martin won't ever let someone else finish his books. Also, wondering if I'm on an uphill trajectory or a peak, and how I'm going to hire someone to do my social media.

Why finding where the story starts is *always* one of the most difficult challenges in writing, why I firmly believe you shouldn't get critiques from people who love you, and new developments on AMONG THE THORNS.

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
If you've ever wanted to know about champagne, satanism, the Stonewall Uprising, chaos theory, LSD, El Nino, true crime and Rosa Parks, then look no further. Josh and Chuck have you covered.
